Nutrient-rich and flavorful: Black soybean sprouts are a powerhouse of nutrition, offering high protein content, fiber, and antioxidants. Their slightly sweet and nutty flavor makes them a versatile ingredient for a wide range of dishes. These sprouts are a perfect choice for health-conscious individuals looking to add a fresh, crunchy texture to their meals while benefiting from their impressive nutrient profile.

How to Grow: To sprout black soybeans, begin by rinsing the seeds thoroughly and soaking them in water for 8–12 hours. After soaking, drain the seeds and transfer them to a sprouting jar, tray, or another ventilated container. Keep the seeds in a dark and humid environment, rinsing them twice daily to maintain optimal moisture. Ensure proper drainage after rinsing to avoid mold or bacterial growth, and maintain a consistent temperature between 70°F and 80°F.

Harvesting: Black soybean sprouts are ready to harvest when they reach 1–2 inches in length, which usually takes 3–5 days. Look for firm, pale stems with small black seed husks remaining at the base. Rinse the sprouts one last time before storing them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Add these nutritious sprouts to stir-fries, salads, soups, or wraps for a fresh, crunchy addition to your meals.
